Hi guys,

Please see below outputs,

1st Question:

why no all mac address appearing on mac table?

This is for cisco C6513 model

Should be ARP table should be listing all the available arp matches?

This interface is connected to a server.

sw9#sh mac-add int f5/38

Legend: * - primary entry

age - seconds since last seen

n/a - not available

vlan mac address type learn age ports

only few mac-addresses are shown in the output.

2nd Question:

Why when i tried to find information about Vlan 107, i got below error:

sw9#sh run int vlan 107

Both symptoms can be explained by the assumption that the switch is configured as a layer2 switch. It does not do any ip routing and hence it only needs arp for things like management PC's etc. All the "real work" is done via the cam-table at layer2.

When the switch is configured as layer 2, you will not see an int vlan 107 because it doesn't exist in the configuration.
